Split tasks

Is there a way of working out the amount a task has been split by? And is there a way to assign a resourse to a split?

Thank you?

RE: Split tasks

Hi Derren

Thank you for your question

To calculate the length of a split you need to create two customised duration fields. The first field calculates the number of days between the start and finish. Click on Tools-Customise-Fields. Select Duration 1 and click on the formula button. Insert a projdatediff function, where date 1 is the start date and date 2 is the finish date, leave the calendar field blank.

Then create a second customised date field, date2 with a formula that subtracts duration from duration1

This will give you the length of the split. You can then insert it as a column in your gantt chart

Regards

Stephen


 

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
